Global retailer SHEIN has teamed up with Lufthansa Cargo to explore more sustainable air freight solutions. The two companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on August 19, confirming plans to scale up the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and other low-carbon initiatives.
Under the agreement, SHEIN and Lufthansa Cargo aim to finalize concrete actions within the next six months. A key focus will be the adoption of SAF for SHEIN’s deliveries, backed by verifiable “Proof of Sustainability” certificates documenting emissions reductions compared to conventional jet fuel.
“This partnership allows us to pilot and expand SAF use while continuing to explore fleet efficiency and other ways to cut emissions,” said Ethan Shen, SHEIN’s General Manager of Global Fulfillment.
Lufthansa Cargo CEO Ashwin Bhat added that the agreement highlights the airline’s commitment to responsible logistics and building greener supply chains.
The MoU also paves the way for future cooperation on data traceability, reporting, and knowledge sharing. Both companies see the move as the start of a long-term collaboration to lower the carbon footprint of global air transport.
